Join the IECA

The IECA's mission is to foster effective and inspiring communication that alleviates environmental issues and conflicts, and solves the problems that cause them. We do this by bringing together and supporting practitioners, teachers, scholars, students, artists and organizations that share these goals.

IECA Membership for 2020

IECA Memberships are valid for the calendar year in which you join and expire December 31. However, if you join after November 1, your membership will be active through to the end of the following year.

Founding members who joined in 2011 helped us launch the organization. Thank you founding members! Founding members receive a 10% discount on their renewals for as long as they maintain continuous membership.

Get our gratitude for being part of The IECA. Supporting, organizational and lifetime members also get special recognition on the web site and extra gratitude!

Notes:

* Conference discounts are cumulative; members who join for the first time for the year of the conference get at least a 10% discount while members who also belonged for the prior year get at least a 20% discount. If your membership is not current during the year of the conference, you get no discount even if you were a member the prior year. Conference presenters must be members.
** This means you can attend the ICA's annual conference and pay the ICA member rate without having to join ICA. This is because IECA is an organizational member of ICA. Contact us if you have questions about this.
*** See the bylaws for voting limitations for Organizational members.

Paying

Most members pay using a credit or debit card. Payments are processed by Stripe. It's simple, fast and secure, and we don't keep your card information. If you prefer, you can use your PayPal account. (PayPal is indefinitely disabled due to some technical limitations in how it integrates with our site. Sorry for the inconvenience)

In rare cases where online transactions don't work, we can try sending you an invoice. From outside the US, you can also pay by wire transfer to our bank, but we have to charge an extra $25 fee and you will need to make arrangements with us ahead of time to use this method.
